Narrative dance and theatre were an integral part of the socio-religious <italic> utsavas</italic> (festivals) in ancient India. National Dance Festivals in the recent decades, however, developed as a form of an emergent cosmopolitan public culture representing modernity. India's national culture reinvents itself by coopting and redifining the regional, local forms of performance as a part of a process of imagining an Indian community unified in its diversity. Artists, bureaucrats, and cultural advisors are all involved in the cosmopolitan culture-making, that includes, promotion of national traditions and symbols, through ceremonies and festivals, such that their national and trans-local image is comprised of a renewed collective of traditional and regional identities.

520 $a Narrative dance and theatre were an integral part of the socio-religious <italic> utsavas</italic> (festivals) in ancient India. National Dance Festivals in the recent decades, however, developed as a form of an emergent cosmopolitan public culture representing modernity. India's national culture reinvents itself by coopting and redifining the regional, local forms of performance as a part of a process of imagining an Indian community unified in its diversity. Artists, bureaucrats, and cultural advisors are all involved in the cosmopolitan culture-making, that includes, promotion of national traditions and symbols, through ceremonies and festivals, such that their national and trans-local image is comprised of a renewed collective of traditional and regional identities.
520 $a My investment in this project comes from my own position as an Indian classical dancer. In this dissertation, I examine National Dance Festivals as a window through which I perceive the connections between culture and nationalism, social memory, and identity, in the wake of modernity and globalization in India. This study is informed by the perspectives of the post colonial historiography and an analysis of ‘how societies remember’ and collectively ‘imagine’ their identities as regions (states) and/or a nation and organize integration through festival events.
520 $a Case studies of four major national festivals offer a detailed analysis of varied issues related to public culture, internationalisation, nationalism, identity and memory. <italic>Apana Utsava</italic> (the National Culture Festival) is the largest festival of culture ever mounted in India. It highlights the role of the state as a sponsor, promoter and propagator of traditional arts. The Kalka-Bindadin Kathak Dance Festival hosted by Kathak Kendra, New Delhi, provides stage to Kathak dancers, and emphasizes pedagogy and performance. Khajuraho Dance Festival is a cultural extravaganza that exemplifies the increasing impact of an ever-growing tourism industry on the traditions of art. Dance Festivals and organizations of the Madras (now Chennai) Festival season represent local community initiative in arts sponsorship. They draw special attention to various issues related to diaspora among South Indians, and, their hopes and aspirations for a defined cultural identity.
